The Move Towards Automation
Before introducing the welding robot, we relied on external suppliers for chassis production. While this worked well, we saw the need for greater control over the quality, speed, and flexibility of our production process. The welding robot provided exactly the solution we were looking for: a technology that combines precision and efficiency with the ability to manage the entire production process from start to finish in-house.
What Does the Welding Robot Do?
The welding robot, specially designed for welding trailer chassis, is capable of assembling each frame with the utmost precision. Welding the chassis is a critical part of the production process as it determines the structural integrity of the trailer. Thanks to the welding robot, we can fully automate this process, ensuring consistent welds and a uniform finish, regardless of the chassis design or size.
The robot operates with millimeter accuracy, which means each chassis fits exactly as designed. This not only enhances the quality and durability of our trailers but also minimizes the chance of errors, leading to fewer repairs and a longer product lifespan.
More Efficient, Faster, and More Reliable
One of the biggest advantages of the welding robot is the speed and efficiency it brings to the table. While manually welding a chassis used to require significant time and manpower, the robot can complete this process in a fraction of the time, without compromising on quality. As a result, we can produce more quickly and significantly reduce delivery times for our customers.
Additionally, the welding robot ensures a more reliable production cycle. Since we no longer depend on external suppliers or manual labor for welding chassis, we can always meet customer demand, even during peak periods. This not only gives us more flexibility but also guarantees that we can deliver top-quality trailers, regardless of circumstances.
Continuity and Innovation
The welding robot not only enables us to produce existing products faster and better, but it also gives us the ability to continue innovating. By handling welding in-house, we can quickly test new designs, further optimize chassis, and respond faster to market demands. This makes us more flexible and adaptable, which is essential in an ever-changing market.
Looking Ahead
After four years of using the welding robot, we can proudly say that this technology has been one of the best investments in our production process. We have significantly improved the quality, speed, and reliability of our trailers, contributing to the growth of Vlemmix Trailers.
And we keep looking forward: with the welding robot as an important part of our production strategy, we will continue to explore new ways to optimize our processes and further improve our trailers. Because at Vlemmix Trailers, we never stand still.
